Hi,

I understand the fronts in an R32 are 6"x 4"..

i'm not really the handyman.. and dont have the tools or anything, so i wanted to know whether 5" would fit?

6" i believe i need a spacer.. and 4" is too small..

so 5" i guess i'd be pretty content.

Thanks.

If your replacing them with anything other than the stock specs than you need a speaker pod of some discription. You will get the best results with 6" speakers (a good set of components) and use your HU to run them if your not intending on using an amp.

Have a look at the thread Predator wrote about pods, very handy indeed and anyone can make them, not hard. You only need the basic tools to do it as well.

if you ahve any other question then ask away as someone will give you the answers you seek. :P

Simple to install larger speakers in the front...

Ive got 6.5" morel splits up there..... want to know how

take off door trim

Take off crappy old plastic thing that holds speaker to door.....

Get some medium thickness mdf.... like 12mm or something...(cut offs at hardware)

put black thing on mdf and trace around and mark where the screw holes are....

buy $20 jigsaw and cut around edge....

Put 6.5" speaker in the middle where the old hole is kind of lined up.... there is a bit of room to play with..... so dont stress... drill then jigsaw hole......

trial fit.. if it dosent work cut again or modify:D

put speakers in.. wire up... put tweeter on the little plastic thing on the inside of the side mirror... pops off easily and will take small screws.....

put crossover in middle of door.. under where you rest your arm and screw in place

make sure that nothing on the door trim pokes into the speaker......

wire up and listen to what you have created...

muhahahahah

Ed :D:D:D

Okay then, why is the sky blue?  

Now lets see how many people actually know that! :)

No one said these questions had to be car related, except maybe the forum rules!

The sky is blue because

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Hope that helps clear it up for you BADHABIT???

:cuddle:

jbl do a speaker that go straight in with a little triming on the corners with a tin snips just got a new alpine and they sound awesome

Bought some of these yesterday gunna have a feed then fit them up :)

Can you just remove the grille from the door panel itself rather than remove the whole door panel itself to fit them..?

unless im mistaken you will have to remove the door pod completly. The grill is part of the door skin. Not hard to take on and off, takes about 2-3 mins once you know what your doing.

Well the speaker install went extremely smoothly :)

Removal of door trim nessacary but very easy, front speakers needed plastic edges (bout 5mm) cut off each corner to allow flush fitment.

Rear speakers requires removal off back seat and parcel shelf (again Piss easy) 6.5" rear speakers fit straight into factory holes.

Sound: Obviously far superior to previous weather beaten ripped ones (although they were Alpines), Kenwood MP3 Deck has ample power to run them and is quite loud, louder infact than the Factory system in my BA, but still dosnt offer the low down bass of the BA.

All up $260 for the Kenwood MP3 deck and $219 for all the JBL speakers you cant really go wrong ;)

Sounds good mate, i can't wait to finish my install off. Rain sucks and without a garage it makes it kinda hard :chairshot

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
